Dear Chairman Webster,
As you may or may not know, American Legion Mountaineer Boys State is an
honors camp for high school students entering their Senior year that teaches
about state, county and local government by participation. There is a
corresponding Girls State run by the Auxiliary of the American Legion. As
part of the legislative program at Mountaineer Boys State, we have
encouraged the boys to propose and work bills that they think would be
important to young people in the state of West Virginia. We have told them
that if they propose something that would make sense as actual legislation,
we would pass it on for consideration by the West Virginia Legislature.

SB 634 is a bill suggested by a student citizen of Mountaineer Boys State,
adopted by the Boys State Legislature and signed into law by the Boys State
Governor. The bill allows for health care providers who volunteer their
time at at youth camp to be free from liability except for gross negligence.
This "Good Samaritan" bill is very similar to the current law exempting from
liability health care providers who volunteer to help with youth athletic
events. SB 634 was assigned to your committee.

I realize that time is very short, but on behalf of the citizens and staff
of Mountaineer Boys State, we are asking if you could move this bill. We
will gladly provide any information or assistance you think would be
helpful.

Again we thank you for your support and your consideration of this piece of
legislation.

Sincerely,
